To THOSE familiar with the schools OF
tbs city, public and private, il is apparent
that but few girls above the age Of sixteen
years arc found in attendance. Can it be
aaid Of the parents Of this community,
that they do not sufficiently appreciate
the Importance Of thorough culture for
their dsrghsera? This may not be, but it
would seem that girls are yory oiton al-
lowed to give up their studies at too early
an age, and to enter society to their own
laating injury, when they should be cul-
tivssing tho mind. This may in some
measure account for tho fact that 80 per
cent Of books taken from tho Public Ii
brs.y are novels. With more thorough
culture ouch bookn would soon become
less desired. and works Of history, biogrs-
ply travel and science be more sought
alter and better appreciated. y

tho Centennial celebration OF the adop.
ton Of tho American Constitution, at
Philadelphis, was dated June q, aud was
signed by Mesars. Keason, Little, Cerson
and Cochrano, for the Committee, and no
was informed by the gentlemen who con.
veyed to him the invitation that It was
the only one cent to any person not an
American cltizsn, or an accred lifted diplo-
mat. The exception in bis caae being in.
tended as an express recognition Of the
historical ties which bound Great Britain
and America before tho Declaration OF
Independence. He was alao assured that
no would be allowed to mako whatever
arrangements Le pleased, and would be
entertained In America ns no man had
been since the vlait OF Gen. Lafayette.
Mr.. Gladstone, on July 20, made reply to
the lotter and assured the committee Of
the great honor he felt In receiving an In.
yitation to the celebration OF tho Oenteu.
ary OF the, American Constitution. Htg
letter continues: The attractions OF the
invitation arc enhanced to mo by tho cir
cumstance that l have always regarded

the proposition to buy the old Fai,

presided. Mr.. Erskine, one Of thee
Commissioners to coil the property, was
present and explained tho status OF affairs
from the point OF view OF the owners. He
said that the property would be offered
for sale as coon 90 1t could be plotted and
tho necessary advertisement made. This,
be thought, would require about forty
days. by order Of the Court tho properly
must be offered in parcels and as whole,
and the most advantageous bid accepted.
There was free discussion Of the
whole subject, developing from the start
the determination Of those present to push
the scheme 10 a successful issue In some
way. 1t was soon developed that the
almoat unanimous sentiment was In favor
Of purchase by the city, as being the
surest way to secure and maintain the
park on q satisfactory basis, Several
me nbers Of Council wero present, and
they all coiucided Ia this view. Il was
accordingly resolved to appoint commit.
tee TO prepare an ordinance to be sub.
nitted to Council rsxt Tuesday evening
providing for popular voto on the pur-
chase Of the proserty by the issue Of $780,.
900, or so much thereof aB may be neces.
sary, In bonds to pay the purchase price
and improve the ground. The same com.
mitsee Is to provids.ior the circulation OF

by the people by. an overwhelming mojor-
